This paper defines a method for evaluating a contractor's ability to comply with both the Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) Process Maturity Model and the Ballistic Missile Defense's (BMD) Trusted Software Methodology (TSM). The SEI model is used to evaluate the maturity of a contractor's software development process. The TSM is used to evaluate the contractor's ability to prevent inadvertent and malicious errors from occurring in software products. The method described in this paper identifies the commonality and differences between these two models and the additional activities that must occur during an SEI Software Capability Evaluation (SCE) to accommodate the TSM criteria. This method was developed after receiving appropriate SCE and TSM training and performing numerous SCEs. It is intended to be used throughout the BMD program to help identify software development risks.

Abstract: "This report describes Version 3.0 of the Software Capability Evaluation (SCE) Method. SCE is a method for evaluating the software process of an organization to gain insight into its process capability. This version of the SCE Method is based on the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) defined in Capability Maturity Model for Software, Version 1.1 [Paulk 93a]. It is compliant with the CMM Appraisal Framework (CAF) [Masters 95]. This document is an update to SCE Version 2.0 [CBA Project 94]."

A Software Process Model Handbook for Incorporating People's Capabilities offers the most advanced approach to date, empirically validated at software development organizations. This handbook adds a valuable contribution to the much-needed literature on people-related aspects in software engineering. The primary focus is on the particular challenge of extending software process definitions to more explicitly address people-related considerations. The capability concept is not present nor has it been considered in most software process models. The authors have developed a capabilities-oriented software process model, which has been formalized in UML and implemented as a tool. A Software Process Model Handbook for Incorporating People's Capabilities guides readers through the incorporation of the individual’s capabilities into the software process. Structured to meet the needs of research scientists and graduate-level students in computer science and engineering, this book is also suitable for practitioners in industry.

Abstract: "This report describes Version 1.5 of the Software Capability Evaluation (SCE) method, as taught at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) from January 1992 to June 1993. This version of the SCE Method is based on the process maturity framework defined in Characterizing the Software Process: A Maturity Framework [Humphrey 87a], which predates Version 1.0 of the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) described in Capability Maturity Model for Software [Paulk 91]. The document includes a background overview of the SCE Method and its evolution, a detailed description of the activities performed during an SCE, and a discussion of the characteristics of the method and their implications for the use of the method. This 'as built' description provides a baseline for future evolution of the SCE method."

Abstract: "Software Capability Evaluation (SCE) is a method for independently evaluating the software process of an organization to gain insight into its software development capability. The method is defined in the report 'Software Capability Evaluation Version 2.0 Method Description.' [SCE 93b] This document, the 'Software Capability Evaluation Version 2.0 Team Members' Guide, ' is intended for use by members of teams that will be conducting an SCE. The guide provides detailed step-by-step instructions and heuristic information to assist an SCE team in preparing for and conducting an evaluation."

Principal Contributors and Editors: Mark C. Paulk, Charles V. Weber, Bill Curtis, Mary Beth Chrissis "In every sense, the CMM represents the best thinking in the field today... this book is targeted at anyone involved in improving the software process, including members of assessment or evaluation teams, members of software engineering process groups, software managers, and software practitioners..." From the Foreword by Watts Humphrey The Capability Maturity Model for Software (CMM) is a framework that demonstrates the key elements of an effective software process. The CMM describes an evolutionary improvement path for software development from an ad hoc, immature process to a mature, disciplined process, in a path laid out in five levels. When using the CMM, software professionals in government and industry can develop and improve their ability to identify, adopt, and use sound management and technical practices for delivering quality software on schedule and at a reasonable cost. This book provides a description and technical overview of the CMM, along with guidelines for improving software process management overall. It is a sequel to Watts Humphrey's important work, Managing the Software Process, in that it structures the maturity framework presented in that book more formally. Features: Compares the CMM with ISO 9001 Provides an overview of ISO's SPICE project, which is developing international standards for software process improvement and capability determination Presents a case study of IBM Houston's Space Shuttle project, which is frequently referred to as being at Level 5 0201546647B04062001
